Selenium is an umbrella project encapsulating a variety of tools and libraries enabling web browser automation. Selenium specifically provides infrastructure for the W3C WebDriver specification — a platform and language-neutral coding interface compatible with all major web browsers.
The project is made possible by volunteer contributors who've generously donated thousands of hours in code development and upkeep.

Opensource framework
Provides record and playback capabilities
Use its own test domain specific language (DSL)
Manage by projects which are available to be downloaded, Latest side project is the Selenium Grid, which provide a hub allowing the running of multiple tests concurrently on any number of local or remote systems, thus minimizing the test execution time and give better functionality scenarios, coverage availability.
Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is an integrated environment into Firefox browser, which allows recording, editing and debugging the tests. Selenium IDE = Selenium Recorder.
Selenium also have sort of addons it has libaries that support testing flash writen by adobe
testing,ajax wrriten by google

Selenium Remote Control
Selenium Grid

Selenium IDE Key Features

Record and Playback
Field selection use ID, name or XPath
Autocomplete commands
Debugging process with breakpoints </li>
Test saved in desired format, like HTML, Ruby, etc.

Very useful tool for System functional testing and browser compatibility testing. Strong as compare to other available automation tools and is very flexible and simple to use.

There are many languages supported in Selenium but the language in which your program is built is independent of the language being used by the website or the web based application, that means, if your website is build in C# then you can use selenium with below mentioned languages and create your test scripts in any of these languages. You only need to know one language in order to work with Selenium

Major Components of Selenium

As compared to other automation tools Selenium works on almost all OS and browsers.
It’s Open source and can support multiple languages.
Vastly active developer community - backed by Google.
Powerful methods to locate elements (Xpath, CSS, DOM).
Frameworks based on Object oriented programming such as Data Driven, Keyword Driven and Hybrid can be implemented very easily.
Supports open source frameworks integration such as JUnit, TestNG, NUnit etc.
Can run parallel tests using different browsers on different machines which helps reducing the test execution time when working on a large project.
